Smart Women And The Tug Of Transition

Recently, I attended a surprise 50th birthday party for a good friend from college. I had a fantastic time reconnecting with old friends and discovering new ones as well. One of the biggest Aha’s for me during the weekend festivities was the realization that most of my time is spent with entrepreneurs—people who have made the jump to self-employment and choosing to do it their way. Many of the people I spent time with at this weekend event were employed by someone else. The topic of conversation was quite different for me yet it was illuminating to learn and see life from their perspective.

Smart Women and a Bird in the Hand

One question that I hear frequently from the women I support is “How do I find and attract more new clients?” After all, new clients are necessary for your business to survive and thrive. The good news is, “new” clients are closer than you think. What do I mean? Have you ever heard the old phrase, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?”

STOP Beating Yourself Up…Let Me Show You How Now

It’s easy to beat yourself up if you feel like you haven’t been moving forward in your business. I know because I’ve done it myself, many times.

You feel stuck and unsure what to do which can sometimes seem like failure. Six years ago, I started my business with the dream of supporting women to their next Big Idea and help them achieve success in their lives and businesses.
